Grassroots International

Grassroots International works in partnership with social movements to create a just and sustainable world by advancing the human rights to land, water, and food through global grant making, building solidarity across organizations and movements, and advocacy in the US.

Grassroots International envisions a world in which a universal commitment to the health and well-being of the earth and all its peoples, fueled by successful global movements for economic and climate justice, has transformed production practices, consumption patterns, and economic and social relations to ones based on sustainability, equity, and the rights to land, food, and water. Our partnerships recognize that change is successful only when people in their own communities organize to confront the root causes of their problems.

Climate Justice Donor Retreat

The Climate Justice Donor Retreat will educate and engage donors as an important part of the progressive climate justice constituency by: deepening their knowledge and understanding of the root causes and impacts of climate change and of the struggle for climate justice, both in the US and globally, spurring further donor education and engagement, and increasing participants’ investment in climate justice work generally, and to Grassroots International’s Global Climate Justice Initiative specifically.
